Launch delayed until Tuesday. Watch live as SpaceX attempts both the launch of a deep-space observatory and a revolutionary rocket-landing within minutes of each other at Cape Canaveral in Florida.
A SpaceX rocket will attempt to launch a US satellite from deep storage to deep space, where it will keep tabs on solar storms and image Earth from nearly 1 million miles away.
The Falcon 9 rocket is targeted for launch at 6:07pm EST (11:07pm GMT) on Monday from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
Perched on top of the booster is the Deep Space Climate Observatory, nicknamed DSCOVR, which is jointly owned by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The launch was originally scheduled to take place on Sunday, but was halted with just two-and-a-half minutes to go because of a problem with a rocket-tracking system.
